    Johanssen really looked ill when he left the pitch, and was walking in a stuttering way. So glad it was a stomach bug...

    I am still happier than most of you this morning.
    Although they were all over us, both their goals were unfortunate..the first one could have bounced anywhere and away... the second was just a hard speculative cross. They had much better chances to score that we blocked or saved.
    And we could have won ( unjustly) with Willocks lob of lumley towards the end.

    Saturday match versus Barnsley ( a bogey team) is much more a must win than last night.

    BTW Hendrick looked OK.. and understood why we got him

    Apparently Johansen had a stomach bug which was why he went off.

    Which is impressive, but our last two have been a defeat and a draw where we were outplayed at home. I just feel the shine has come off at present, and it also worries me, with the play offs a definite possibility, that our record against the better teams like Bournmouth isn't good. Maybe I'm being unfair.

    We beat Reading…

    Swansea didn’t outplay us. With the exception of Fulham I’m not sure anyone has.

    It's Fulham, Bournemouth, Middlesborough and I worry about West Brom that seem to have strength in depth. Whereas we're doing everything brilliantly on a shoestring. I'd love to see a really good, persuasive, coordinated performance against Barnsley

    Dykes was very good first half.

    Thought he was decent throughout. It’s a real credit to Warburton how much he’s improved. Not a world beater by any means but he’s the best we have.

    I still think Austin is our best finisher, but Dykes is our best all round centre forward I agree.

    Austin would have had you in tears at Peterborough. Yeah if a chance falls to anyone you want it to be him like at West Brom but outside the box he offers nothing any more. He can do it as he showed against Everton which makes it worse.

    We were having a chat on our Whatsapp group today talking about the other sides and their form........

    These are games to be played before the end of this month.....

    Huddersfield v Sheffield Utd
    Forest v Stoke
    West Brom v Blackburn
    Bournemouth v Forest
    Fulham v Huddersfield
    Boro v West Brom
    Sheff Utd v Blackburn
    Blackburn v R's
    Bournemouth v Stoke

    They can't all win so teams will drop points...... no point being too overly worried about what other teams are doing.......

    That was a decent point gained last night...... the important thing was not to lose. We've 17 games left and are running at just shy of 1.8 points per game. Carry on at that rate and we'll finish with 83 points, that's 10 wins and a draw from those 17 games, anything more than that is into serious territory....... It's in our hands......

    Up The R's

    Same here, I watched the game ( mainly the second half ) like I was a five year old kid watching Doctor Who.

    Yoann Barbet played his 90th consecutive game for QPR in the league last night. The last player to do this was Andy Sinton 1989 -1991. Over thirty years ago! His contract runs out at the end of the season, he's 28 years old! Get him to sign a new contract.

    They’ve tried but easier said than done when he can go on a Bosman.

    I hope he stays with the brotherhood. Maybe he wants to go back home to France.

    Or maybe he wants more money than we're offering ? We've already seen we're not prepared to go above what we think we can afford. Or maybe we're waiting to see if we get promoted lol, as much as I think he's a warrior I fear he'd get shredded in the Prem.

    I thought it was he who done the airshot that missed the ball to allow them to make it 1-1. Apparently it was Dunne and it happened right in front of me. I would dismiss anything I'd have to say. I didn't even know Adomah scored the own goal until I got home.

    You been drinking 9's lol. To be fair pal I thought it was Dickie who did the airshot when I saw it so I'm no better ! Dunne was due a howler to be fair just unfortunate timing. Still at least we ain't still got Joe in goal :emoticon-0100-smile
